To Connect a Network Device
This section provides general instructions for connecting a network device (such as a wireless access point, router, hub, or switch) to the X5. For information about setting up your network device, please refer to the documentation that came with that device.
1 Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into one of the modem’s LAN ports (1, 2, 3, 4) and the other end into the network device’s Ethernet port. (For a hub or a switch, this is typically called an Uplink or Expansion port. For a router or wireless access point, this is typically called a WAN port.)
2 Set up your network. Refer to the documentation provided with your particular network device for instructions on how to do this.
3 Once your network is set up, reboot any computer that is part of the network. For example, if you are connecting a wireless access point, reboot any computer that will use the wireless network.
4 Verify that your Internet connection is working. Open your Web browser (e.g., Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) on each computer using your network and try to connect to a familiar Web address.
Congratulations! You have connected your network device to the Internet. You are done with this user’s guide. Enjoy your X5!
